OVERRIDE and STATIC both use 200mg of natural caffeine per serving, sourced from green tea extract. That number means nothing on its own without context — so here's the context.
A standard 8oz cup of brewed coffee has roughly 95mg of caffeine. So 200mg is about the equivalent of two cups, delivered in one scoop, timed to hit peak blood concentration right as you start training (caffeine typically peaks 30–60 minutes after ingestion).
Why we pair it with L-Theanine
Caffeine alone at this dose can cause the jittery, anxious feeling a lot of people associate with "bad" pre-workouts. L-Theanine, an amino acid found naturally in tea leaves, has been studied specifically for smoothing out that response — it doesn't cancel the stimulant effect, it changes the quality of it. That's the entire reason OVERRIDE pairs 200mg caffeine with 100mg L-Theanine instead of just cranking the caffeine higher.
Who should be careful with this dose
200mg is a meaningful dose. It is not recommended for individuals sensitive to caffeine, pregnant or nursing women, or anyone under 18. If you already drink coffee, energy drinks, or take other caffeinated supplements on the same day, account for that total — caffeine stacks, and going over roughly 400mg/day (the general guidance for healthy adults) is where side effects like a racing heart or disrupted sleep become more likely.
If you're not sure how your body handles 200mg in one sitting, start with a half scoop and see how you feel before going to a full dose.
